24. Loras Tyrell

Loras was the only remaining heir to Highgarden. He was a popular tourney knight in Westeros, and one of the most skilled in the kingdom. He was imprisoned by the Faith of the Seven for the crime of laying with a man.

Time of death: Season 6, episode 10, "The Winds of Winter"

Cause of death: Burned alive in Cersei's wildfire explosion at the Sept of Baelor.

Sadness ranking: 6. He wasn't as major a character as Margery, but he was sympathetic, especially throughout his imprisonment. His violent death, like everyone else's in the wildfire explosion, was as unexpected as it was upsetting.
